So, mine came in at 109.46 mph,
hahaha, it will not go over 90 mph in real time, so this website is rather optomistic, and must assume infinate BHP, and a drag coefficancy of zero

You'd assume so since you can't enter eitther of the above?
I have, somewhere, a lapsim package that was free that is pretty good and does do power and drag, and engine torque curves to produce best shift
points. The Bosch one i think.

Well it does agree with my calculations on my "theoretical" top speed, I worked it out as 161 mph, and the site had 160.6 so pretty close.
BUT as to whether it will actually do that, well I do know it does 145 mph but never had the balls to go the whole hog, :-) Cheers Ray
To make a car go faster, just add lightness. Colin Chapman - OR - fit a bigger engine. Chippy
